Thanks! I just spent 15 minutes reading that, and I'm only half done. And here I thought that 'Moonbear' had something to do with a ritual in the woods around a campfire.
Having read the first half does this mean... that I should dismantle that shrine I built to Evo before she finds out about it? :rolleyes:

Thank you Danger and SOS. I can't take the credit for it's cleverness myself though, I took it from Robert Anton Wilson's "Schrodinger's Cat Trilogy".
"So we keep the same instincts as our primate and pre-primate ancestors, but we superimpose culture and law on top of this. So we get split in two, dig? You might say, mankind is the statutory ape."

Zipperhead, from what I understand is a derogatory term used for Koreans. A Korean friend of mine uses it for a screenname.

Ooohhh... I'll have to find me a copy of that. Still, you were clever enough to capitalize upon its existence.

Since you're the only person who uses it, and since I seem to be the only Canuk who pays any attention to you, I can't see anyone being offended by it. :-p

Of course if we want to discuss who has the name referring to the biggest and brightest object I think I take the prize. Unless there are any other rouge galaxies running around. :biggrin:

Hey!
I was told it was used during the Korean war. I don't think it's one of those terms that's commonly used anymore. At least not that way.
What does it mean among you floppy-heads? ;-p

I'd say the best PF username is "Moonbear". Very smooth and only nerdy in a very subtle way. :biggrin:

Very smooth, indeed. Kinda like SpaceTiger. You're both extra terrestrial animals. :biggrin:

Oh, and I like Mathwonk. I don't know exactly what 'wonk' means, but the sound is all in need to understand.

Your right. It isn't used at all. In fact, i didn't even know it was a bad word for koreans!

I just got a bit 'angry' as a joke. Not that i care about patriotism anyway. Sorry if it were misundertanding.

Those two need to have a child, just so we could see what the username would be. PlutoMolerat? Callisto Flockhamster?

If they get twins: SpaceBear and MoonTiger would be obvious choices.

And luckily they aren't in the same field, with their knowledge, they could have cosmic battles in the kitchen. :-p :rolleyes:
